Chapter 82

A Xiongnu scout came to report,

"Report! Liu Bei has led an army of ten thousand and lined them up at the valley exit!"

Yufuluo gave a cold snort,

"Ten thousand troops and they dare to face us in a field battle?"

"Pass the order down: advance at full speed and charge straight at the enemy!"

The Xiongnu cavalry began to accelerate. The entire valley could accommodate about twenty riders abreast; as their speed increased, the people in the valley grew more and more crowded.

Yufuluo and Li Le exited the valley.

Yufuluo gazed into the distance at Liu Bei's main army,

"There are about ten thousand men here. It seems Liu Bei isn't using his previous ambush tricks this time!"

He said loudly,

"Pass the order down: once two ten-thousand-man divisions have passed through the narrow section of the valley, the entire army is to attack!"

Yufuluo looked at Li Le,

"I thought Liu Bei was so formidable. If he had set up camp in the narrow part, he could have held me off for a while. I never expected him to actually stand his entire army outside the valley!"

Just at that moment,

A blaze of fire suddenly shot into the sky on Liu Bei's side, and the front-row soldiers scattered directly.

Appearing before everyone were several hundred oxen, their horns fixed with sharp, cold-glinting blades, and their tails tied with flammable materials!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Liu Bei's soldiers began to ignite firecrackers (bamboo burned by fire, making a crackling sound), driving the herd of oxen toward the valley!

The sound of the firecrackers and the flames instantly made the oxen restless, and they charged toward the valley!

The earth began to shake, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Yufuluo was greatly alarmed,

"It's actually the Fire Ox formation! Liu Bei is treacherous!"

"Quick, quick, fire your arrows!"

Unexpectedly, a rain of arrows was shot from the other side first, killing the Xiongnu cavalry in the front row!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

After a dozen oxen were shot dead by the Xiongnu, the other fire oxen, having seen blood, became even more frantic and crashed directly into the Xiongnu horses.

In an instant, men and horses were overturned!

The Xiongnu were knocked flying or slashed by the sharp blades, falling to the ground, only to be trampled into pulp by the fire oxen!

Fresh blood splashed into the oxen's eyes; the fire oxen's eyes were a fiery red, making them even more insane!

The Xiongnu had nowhere to run and could only turn their horses around, galloping wildly backward, only to collide with the people behind them—men squeezed against men!

"Boom!"

The fire oxen charged into the valley!

The area swept by the fire oxen was a scene of utter devastation, too horrific to look at!

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, and Xu Huang led their cavalry in close pursuit, continuously reaping the lives of the Xiongnu soldiers!

The other infantry also advanced slowly, sending the still-wailing Xiongnu to hell!

Liu Bei had no pity for these foreign tribes; he ordered no quarter given!

The fire oxen charged through the valley, continuing to scatter the Xiongnu cavalry on the other side. With the addition of Guan Yu and the others, the eighty thousand Xiongnu and Baibo troops were routed across the board!
